# Scott Caruthers, Maryland man who reportedly claimed to be from another planet, dies

### Overview

Scott Caruthers, a Maryland man remembered for claiming that he came from another planet, reportedly died in 2019. An account published by *Alien Archivist* identifies him as “Scott Caruthers — The Man Who Said He Was From Another Planet,” while listing the period **1963–2019**. The available material contains conflicting biographical information, however: it says Caruthers was born **Arthur Brook Crothers in 1945**, suggesting that the dates in the title may refer to a period of public activity or another aspect of his life rather than his full lifespan. No death notice, official record or independent documentation confirming the circumstances of his death was provided in the source.

Caruthers grew up in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and moved with his family to Oak Court in Catonsville at about age 12. According to accounts from people who knew him, he left school at 17 and enlisted in the Army. He was discharged roughly a month after arriving at Fort Gordon, Georgia. His first wife, **Kathleen Mitulinski**, reportedly recalled that his discharge papers described him as unfit for military service. Caruthers instead told a different story, claiming he had undergone special testing and could be recalled for “special circumstances.”

### Claims of Military and Extraterrestrial Origins

Former wives later recalled Caruthers wearing an Air Force uniform and describing supposed government assignments, flight training and military work. He reportedly claimed at various times to have worked as a government assassin and to have been on a path toward becoming a **Blue Angels pilot**. The source does not provide military records substantiating those claims.

At some point, Arthur Brook Crothers began using the name Scott Caruthers. One former wife said he claimed to have come to the United States from Scotland as a child. His more unusual assertions emerged during his teenage relationship with Mitulinski. She said Caruthers told her that he was **from another planet** and that a spaceship was hidden somewhere near Catonsville.

> “He said he was from another planet. [He] was very, very convincing … that he had this spaceship parked on the hill in Catonsville somewhere,” Mitulinski recalled.

She also remembered him identifying a glassy rock containing gold-colored material as something left behind by a creature that was pursuing him. The account offers no independent analysis of the object or evidence that it was extraterrestrial.

### A Complicated Personal History

Caruthers and Mitulinski married in the summer of **1963** and had a daughter, Fawn, who died at four months old. Their marriage later broke down. The account says that in 1968, while still married to Mitulinski, Caruthers married an 18-year-old woman named Una, allegedly telling her that his first wife had died. In 1971, Una reportedly found him with another teenage girl, Billi Gardner, whom Caruthers later also married.

His claims reportedly continued through later relationships. **Paula Crothers**, whom he married in 1984, said he implied that he was from another world and explained frequent absences as secret missions. She also alleged that he shoved her head into a window after she laughed at the claim. These allegations are presented as recollections in the source and were not independently verified in the available material.

### Public Memory and Evidence

Caruthers was photographed beside a gray extraterrestrial bust in a picture by Paul G. Joslin published in the March 2, 2001, issue of the *Washington City Paper*. That image helped preserve his place in the region’s UFO folklore, but neither it nor the reported testimony establishes that he was extraterrestrial or possessed a spacecraft. The available account is best understood as a biographical portrait of a man whose extraordinary stories shaped his relationships and public identity, rather than as evidence confirming his claims.
